The "Sabre Ratting" Of Militias & Vote Watchers Could Mean Election Day Problems.

Rigging memes seem to have caused unrest among various militias who pretty much say they will not accept the election of Hillary Clinton. As we move toward election day the hysteria about a rigged election just grows stronger. The meme is that if the Donald does not win or is not given the presidency then the election is a fraud. It was fixed period.

The prospect of armed militias showing up at key sights is problematic. And would law enforcement do anything. How many police and local officials are on their side. In certain parts of the country law enforcement is infiltrated.

I am glad we vote by mail and in our state most votes are just put in a drop site. The prospect of having to go to a poll and be challenged if you are a Democrat whether you are black or white. The suppression is not aimed at just minorities but white Americans who will not vote for Trump.

The suppression scheme is aimed at ANYONE not voting GOP if you follow the logic. All you have to do is look at who is targeted with voter ID schemes and laws. It is not just blacks, hispanics and other groups.

Official poll workers will respond to complaints of harassment bounce the goons out of the polling place. Citizens will be calling in complaints about them outside.

I think this is why early voting numbers are so high. Everybody expects these trolls to try to start trouble.
